Awesome collection of Christmas themed PNR!
A TASTE OF HONEYBEAR COCOA by Jacqueline Sweet
Christopher is a recently woken up bear shifter, who had been in a hibernating coma since World War II. He is feeling literally out of his time and comfort zone. But when you get railroaded by the Alpha and his brothers into taking a job to help you assimilate, you take the job!
Jane is on the run from her former Principal almost-boyfriend. She found some evidence of embezzling and took it to the wrong guy. But when a job offer from Bearfield comes at an opportune time she leaps at it.
She didn't expect to meet Chris, who seems to think he is a bear or his colleague who thinks she is a witch! But that doesn't stop her from falling for him.
A WINTER LOVE SONG by Olivia Arran
Another branch of the Eversons to entertain us. Logan goofed and got famous as a country singer, not wise when you don't age as humans do! But after he found himself with a stalker, he dropped the high life and went to hide out with his cousins. They don't treat him as a star or a money-maker, they give him a hard time and he loves it!
But on the way to meet them he detours through the forest and finds a delectable morsel in a hot spring. Monica just wanted sometime to herself. She loves her adopted daughter and her job feeding the pack but when will she ever get the chance to meet her mate?
Logan may not have been looking for a mate but now he has her, he'll take it as slow as he has to to win her trust. But how will she react when a blast from the past, in the shape of the unhinged Eloise, comes to town?
Loved these 2 stories in particular. Always love dropping in on Bearfield and Craggstone. I especially loved the way Eloise was handled, not every villain is a bad guy!

This is the first collection of stories I’ve read where I liked every single story.
